If you are up to starting a movement that fixes this issue globally so
that, as network operators, we all agree that we should make it work,
I'm all for it.

But I'm also realistic - despite a properly-defined RFC1918 spec. that
suggest what IP addresses to use in your private network, you still see
a bunch of people using 1.0.0.0/24 for the private LAN.

Correcting stuff like this is hard, Saku. Believe me, I've tried. But if
you have a better way to approach this, I'm all ears.

Mark.
